  1. Last month I went to Huatulco to relax a bit from being at home, I went by plane to get there quickly and enjoy, when I got there I had a great time taking all the precautions due to the pandemic, but seeing the sea instead of the the same four walls was relaxing, one day I was in the hotel lounge looking towards the beach when 2 stingrays passed in the shore of the beach and I ran to see them more closely, it was very exciting because I had never seen animals like this so close and in their natural habitat.

      I think that is a good text, did you feel fear when you watched the stingrays?

  3. The last year, my boyfriend and I, traveled to Colombia, and we meet some places in the capital of Colombia, Bogota, and when we celebrate to september 15, we went to place like a joint and we got a little drunk, we decided to leave at approximately 3am, and we didn't realize that the cell phone battery was dead so we couldn't order a taxi, the people there said that this place was so unsafe late and more for foreigners, we did not know what to do and we sat on a bench, luckily a taxi passed that took us to our hotel although I do not know how much he charged us in Mexican pesos, the important thing is that we arrive safely.

  4. In January 2020 I moved to Madrid, Spain because I just won a scholarship to study at Autonomous University of Madrid. Two months later the coronavirus pandemic attacked the whole world and I thought I won't know any other city in Europe. Fortunately, in June 20th 2020, the first wave of the coronavirus pandemic turned over. The Spanish government allowed to travel around Europe and I wanted to visit Barcelona. So, I bought three bus tickets to go there with some friends, also we bought some tours. That was the beginning of some other trips around Europe. Because of the pandemic situation Europe was isolated so I knew Barcelona and other European cities not crowded as usual.

      Before the pandemic began I had already visited Portugal and other little towns around Madrid. Luckily for me, with the student visa there is a lot of discounts, so I didn't spend a lot of money. When I visited Portugal I just went to Lisboa, the biggest Portuguese city. Before I went to Lisboa I had checked the weather to my trip, with that information I could pick the perfect clothes to the trip. I mean, even Europe is cold, there are some cities where is really hot, like Lisboa. Actually, the word Lisboa means "Good light" in Portuguese, this is because Lisboa is the European city with the best sun durying the whole year, as a result Lisboa is the city with the best weather in Europe.

  5. In may of 2019 I went to Acapulco with my mom and granda we went for my birthday, we travel in a bus and the first day we arrived my mom and I ran to the sea and it was dangerous so I was drowning, my mom was very scared and she tried to help me. I never stopped swimming so I found my mom and we left the sea and after that we started to laugh a lot but we never back to that sea just to sunbathe. Nowdays we remember that moment like one of our favorite. <3 :)

      1. granda <- I don't know if it's grandma or grandpa
      2. you can erase "we went" in the first line becausa you had already said "went to"
      3. travel <- "traveled"
      4. you say "we never went back" instead we never back as you wrote
      5. Nowdays <- Nowadays

  6. I went to Acapulco 10 years ago with my family. We traveled by car and it was a very exhausting journey for my dad, as he drove. We stayed at the Copacabana hotel, it had beautiful views, as it was in front of the sea. We stayed around five days, but the second day I almost drowned for a wave when I was swimming alone in the sea. My parents didn't know anything because they were drinking a piña colada, but fortunately I was able to hold on to a rope that was there. But it was a good trip!

    1. We had gone to the zoo in our car and when we got back to the hotel the car broke down. We were two days without being able to move by car but it didn't matter much, since we were close to the beach. Those days we were a little worried about finding a good mechanic and that the car would be ready before we left Acapulco.

  7. My last trip vacation was in Puerto Vallarta. I love that place because the hotel where I stayed is beautiful, also the food was very tasty and the diversity of their drinks in alcohol is very nice. I took my reservation one month with anticipation because the hotel that I refer to is Barcelo's hotel and I have gone saving for one month because the barcelo's hotel in Puerto Vallarta is very expensive.

    it's time to saving again!

    1. Also, take a look at this. I had drunk some wine with my friends and other girls with who I worked, one of these girls had been drunk and I moved her to her room, after this, the girl asked me if I decide to take the bed with her and I answer "no, I don't" because she has been very drunk and this isn't correct with a girl in that conditions also, she was my friend and companion and she had a boyfriend!
      the next day, she had shy with me but she was angry with me too! and then, she never talk to me again after that.

  10. Hi! I want to write about my trip of Cuernavaca in the last year. Some friends and I went camping, the bus ride was very long, as it took us more than 6 hours. When we arrived to the place we stayed in some cabins for 6 people. Everything was going well but on the last day, we played very heavy games and most of us got hurt and we even thought that some of us got broken. But after the doctor checked us out, everything was fine and the fun continued until the end of the trip :).

      It was a good trip!

  13. Hi! My name is Luis G
    Im going to talk about my last vacations. I went to Cancún in december 2019 to my uncles wedding. A Mayan ritual or wedding was held on the shore of the ocean and then we went to eat in a house. there was a terrible problem, there were many mosquitoes and we all ended up puffed up;
    we solved it by putting on mosquito repellent.

    We stayed in our house in Holbox and we didn't have a very good time, we stayed for the festivities

  14. The first time I went to the beach I was really excited. With my family we were to Acapulco, we supposed to stay in my uncle's house, but when we arrived in the neighborhood we realized that the house was totally cover by grass and plants, it was imposible to go through. We had nowhere to stay, nobody could cut the grass. My mom looked for help in the neihborhood recepcion until a woman that was listen the problem, told to my mom that she could rent us her house for a low price. I was sad because we had no beds or anything and there was frogs, insects and spiders and I have fobia to them so I cried. But with mattresses and the amazing beach that was waiting for us, the next day I forgot all the problems and I had so much fun.

I been on the sea when I had scared because I´m felt afraid of fishes, they are like insects but on the sea.

    I visited Guanajuato when I was 13 years old, my close family and my grandmother went to Villa Gasca which is a big resort, we arrived by bus and it was a one day vacation so we didn't have to book a room in any hotel. The first thing that we did was install us in the wood tables and acommodate the food, the sodas, and maybe the floats for the kids. The most exciting thing that we did was throw ourselves off the biggest slide, maybe the slide was about 25 meters and we repeated twice. Finally, we came back about 6 o'clock and arrived at the house at 1 a.m. the other day, its was so funny.

  16. About four years ago I went to Huatulco, Oaxaca with my family. We all thought that it would be an amazing trip, but sadly it was a terrible trip. Let me explain you: The plans were that we travel by bus at night to arrive there at the midday, but at the middnight a bus tire caught fire. We had to get out of the bus and wait for another one to help us. We spend a lot of time waiting for the bus. Finally we arrived to Huatulco but we lost one day of vacations. Eder Torres.

    1. When we was sleeping, the tire caught fire. Actually my mother had heard a strange sound out there. That's what she said us, after we had been out of the bus. When we arrived at the hotel, the buttons had waited us about hours.

  17. Two years ago, I had an accident in a volleyball match, so I couldn't walk for few months, it was in November, in December, I went to Tampico to visit the beach and after, I went to Ciudad Victoria to visited my sister and to celebrate the New Year; I couldn't enjoy it because I felt a lot of pain because of the cold weather. At the end I stayed at my sister's home playing video games with my brother-in-law, it was funny, but I want to return to enjoy the beach.

    1. when we were in Tampico, near the beach we saw some racons in a kind of boulevard, we wanted to give them food but i couldn't walk long distances so my brother-in-law went for a kind of bicycle for two persons. While I was waiting for him, a racon suddenly appeared I had bought some biscuits so I could feed a racon, I was so nervous. Finally my brother-in-law appeared when I had already fed that racon

  19. The last year I went to Cancun with my grandma and her two sisters. The third day we went to Xcaret. Xcaret is a beautiful place, there are a lot of animals as iguanas, flamingos and macaws. Inside Xcaret there's a church, so me and my three grandmas went there, when we were there something fell from the ceiling so close to me, then I realized that it was a snake so I screamed too loud and I ran very fast, then a couple of americans saw me screaming and they asked me if I was ok, and I answered in spanish what happened and they looked at me like 🤨 because they didn't understand me haha, then I explained them what happened and the helped me. At first I was so scared, but then I started to laugh because I left my grandmas alone in the church with the snake. Fortunately they were well and now we laugh when we remember our vacation.

The first day of our vacations we had arrived at night, so my uncle'es family and my family went to dinner at Taco Bell. I remember this vacation because I went with my family to some restaurants and some shops, and the most exciting was that the people who worked there undestood my english, that made me feel very good.
